The Appeal

Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, Bradley Automotive were specialists in the kit car - and their GT "Gullwing" was perhaps one of their most eyecatching. Available as both as an assembled vehicle and the kit, these gullwinged cars based all manner of 70s styling cues at their best - and, perhaps, most garish. It's certainly not a style for the subtle.

Only 6,000 of these Volkswagen Beetle-based cars were sold between 1970 and 1981. These evocative cars are now incredibly rare, especially this side of the Atlantic. This Bradley GT is equipped with its original Volkswagen Beetle 1.6L (1,585cc) 4-cylinder boxer engine, with all of those perky driving characteristics you'd expect - plus, with its lightweight fibreglass body, it's pretty fast on its feet. The car comes with a USA title and European import documentation, with all duties and VAT fully paid.
